The Origin Of Cemeteries

Perhaps the Turks were the FIRST TO us<

dead under the earth, and this mode
seems to have been she earliest in use.
Egypt em!,almed her corpses, and the
earlier Greeks and Poma1s consumed
the body, after death, by fire, the ashes
only receiving sepultnre. Subsequently
in those rations, this practice fell in:o
disuse, at least parfially, and then their
dead bodies were buried in vaults or
chambers under ground, such ~ the

CHANGES IN THE HOUSE.
Attentions in Membership and Ma
ioritv-The Veterans.

rom the Netr York Evening Post.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The list of miss
ing face i'll the House of Representatives is
long OF. The sliding scale of majorities
is not NICE noticeable than the changes of
Membership of this body. A few years ago
the Republicans had a two-thirds majority
IN the Houe. Four years ago the Demo
Gratis had majority of seventy. Now
their majoity is not more than eleven
The clerk ofthe Forty-ninth Congress, who
calls the rollf the new House, has stricken
from his oil list the names of many
who have becme prominent figures in our
national life, If whom some have wholly
retired from politics, and some have
entered other felds of political acti@ity, and
few have gole to join the great majority
which never COWS less. There are few
patriarchs left in the Fiftieth Congress.
Judge Kelley o. Pennsylvania still remains
the father of til House, as he has been for
six Congresses. 1T was in the Forty fourth
Congress that ID became the Oldest member
in continuous ssivice, and he will undoubt-
edly remain ths lean of the House until he
dies Two yeaD after Judge Kelley entered
Congress thret other persons, and three
only, answered to the roll call whose
names will b found on the roll of the
Fiftieth Compress. Two came from Penn
sylvania-S Samuel j. Randall and Charles
O'Neill-andone from Ohio, S. S. Cox.
William R.Morrison came at the same
time, as did ohm A. Kasson and Godlove S.
Orth, but tn latter has gone to his last &C
count. Mr. Morrison sits, some say regret
fully, upon he bench of the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission, and Mr.. Kasson is de-
voting himslf to literature, and doubtless
has permanently retired from politics. In
the Fiftieth Congress it is believed that
there are buttour men--Judge Kelley, Mr..
Randall, Mr.. O'Neill and Mr.. Cox-who
are survivors IF the war and reconstruction
period. Mr.. Cox would outrank Judge
Kelley as the patriarch of the House were
it not for the fact that he suffered defeats
which compelled brief periods OF
retirement ron Congress. He en-
tered Congress four years before
Judge Kelley did, representing an Ohio dis
trict from 1857 to 1855, but he was defeated
for reelection ut one time by Democrat
when he removed to New York. In 1869 he

York delegation, and, with the exception OF
a few months, during which he was Minis

TRAINING FOR A CAREER.

A philanthropic old gentleman was pass

fine residence his attention was attracted by
the remarks of small boy, about years
old, who was playing with another boy on
the sidewalk.

You're cheat, pickpocket, a tramp, de-
faulter, an assassin, vile, contemplate,
base, depraved dashed, blanked, crawling,

dumbfounded, dropped his umbrella and
stared at the youngster in mute astonish-
ment. Just then a lady came to the door
and he said:
Madam, is this your boy"

Sullivan Puts Bold Beggar to Sleep
cnecjoI IN the Netr York Sun

Special TO the NeIo York sun
LONDON, Nov. 2S.-John Lawrence
Sullivan, who has conquered this land as
even the best advertised Brlton never con-
quered America, is back once more in Lon
don. He arrived last night and began almost
at once by making himself useful to society.
Certain little streets off the leading thorough
fares are infested by men who beg. relying
upon their size and general tiercenesS rather
than upon any melting tale of misery to
draw contributions. These men make I'M
comfortable the lives of timid Londoners
who have to be out late. About o'clock
this morning Sullivan, with his hacker,
Harry Phillips, was going home from the
Pelican Club to his lodgings in Harley street.
Two men, very big but evidently with little
Judgment, requested in surly tones the loan
of a pound Sullivan recognized the wild
species of footpad and walked on. One of
the fellows then began pulling at his arm,
while the other opened up a wonderful
current of East End profanity. Sullivan
retOrted in a style that left the East End out
of sight, and threw the end of his lighted
cigar in the face of the larger of the men.
Phillips meanwhile who was, as may be
imagined, little disturbed advised the
threatening, beggars kindly, saying:
Take my advice and get out. That man'll
kill you.n
The advice was wasted, and the larger
man, who, seeing Sulllvan's white shirt
front, never dreamed fighter was near,
offered in choice cockney to fight the cham
pion of the world for a sanguinary tanner
which means twelve cents.
In about second he found out what
Paddy Ryan and other great men have
learned about Sullivan's right, and in the
language of the ring he was asleep in a
gutter. The other spurious beggar waited
just long enough to hear young prig from
the Pelican Club exclaim, "Well done, Sui
livan," and then with an oath that expressed
establishment he made record as a runner.
The policeman who had charge of that part
of the town was affable. He recognized the
great man, advised Sullivan to give an
assumed name and address, as it might
make trouble if be should have killed the
cove, said he recognized the cove as bad
'un" and desperate 'un" and logged him off
| to have cold water turned on him.
The story is being industriously told now
| at the Pelican Club, and has raised the great
| man from Boston even higher in the minds
| of the youthful patrons of that temple of
sport Most of them are better able to look
] at fight than to take part in it, and many
| probably have been worried by gentlemen
| similar to the one whom Sullivan with one
blow has probably driven from the neighbor-
| hood of the club.

SIZE WALKS IN HER SLEEP.
A remarkable Story of a Somnambu-
list From Wilkesbarre.
From, the Ne1o York Times.

FROM tN6 4NGDO IOIh 4GHtoo'
VILKEsBARRE, Dec. Airs. Rebecca
Edridge, living on Main street, has had
sone remarkable adventures during the
INST week in somnambulism. Mrs. Ed
fdge's family consists of son, George,
about 10 years old, and a daughter, Mamie
aged about 49, There is also in the house
H A. Stewart, a clerk, who works at
nights. and has been a prominent actor on
each occasion on which Mrs. Eldridge
has been attacked with a somnambullstic
fit.
On Tuesday morning last as Mr.. Stewart
entered the house, he saw Mrs. Eldrldge
coming down the stairs. She wore her
night dress only and walked firmly, and as
though bent on some fixed errand. Her
ewes were wide open, but she did not seem
to see Mr.. Stewart. Mrs. Eldridge ad-
yanced straight to the hat rack and, taking
her hat. put It on and went to the front
door to go out Mr.. Stewart then spoke to
her and asked her where she was going
She said in a childish tone of voice: Il am
going to church must go to church and
I'm afraid I'll be late" The other members
of the household were aroused and Mrs
Eldridge was placed in bed. On the follow
ing day she was told of her nocturnal war
derings, but remembered nothing of the
occurrence.
On Wednesday morning she had far
more serious and startling experience. 1t
was about a. m. when Mr.. Stewart re-
turned home, and the weather was intensely
cold. He found that the trap-door, opening
from the attic on the roof, was wide open,
and he saw Mrs. Eldridge standing on the
roof of W. L. Loomis' house next door
She had gained the roof of her own house
and then must have stepped or jumped in
the darkness across the intervening space,
fully three feet wide. She had two bundles
under her arm. One contained plush
dress goods and the other muslins.
She was rescued after great diff
Guilty. Yesterday morning, when Mr..
Stewart got home, he found the front door
open. He ran up stairs and aroused Miss
Eldridge, who found that her mother was
not in bed. Her son George was called, and
after notifying the police to be on the look
out for her, Mr.. Stewart and George Ed
ridge started out to find her. They searched
all over the neighborhood, and it was nearly
daybreak before they found her in the Hol-
lenbeck cemetery. She had no clothes on
but her night dress and hat, and was almost
frozen to death. She was still asleep and
talking to herself.
